What is the overtime pay rate for Home Healthcare Workers?

The overtime pay rate for home healthcare workers does not exist because they are not entitled to overtime pay. However, starting January 1, 2015, a new act passed by Obama administration will classify all home healthcare workers as “covered” under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). What this means for healthcare workers is that their employer is legally required to pay overtime wages for all hours worked after 40 in a a single work week. The overtime rate of pay being one and one-half times their regular rate of pay.

To ensure that you will in fact receive overtime pay working as a home healthcare worker in 2015, you should discuss with your employer and ensure that they are aware of the new act that has passed.. If your employer denies you such wages or fails to pay you the appropriate amount of overtime pay, you may be entitled to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit against them to recover all owed benefits.
